These Activities Would be Fun to Do in Berkshire

Berkshire is one of the royal places in England. Given its status, you can only imagine how elegant and fascinating the entire place is. It is a very relaxing area where you can just sit in nearby parks and appreciate the beauty of your surroundings. While you are still in England, you might want to spend a portion of your time in Berkshire, so you can see how amazing it is in person. Here are some of the activities to do while you are there.

Go people-watching

Royal Ascot is one of the most awaited events in Berkshire, taking place in the middle of June. This is a tradition that dates back to 1711. Some members of the royal family also take some time out to watch this event.

Take afternoon tea

It might seem like an obvious thing to do when you are in the UK. However, when you are in Berkshire, drinking afternoon tea makes more sense, especially if you are not the type of person who drinks tea.

Check out Swinley Forest

This place has abundant trees and wildlife. It can also be an educational trip for you while you are there. They have zip wires if you are bringing your kids with you. The place also offers a track that lets you discover the entire area.

Take a riverboat ride

This is perhaps the most classic thing that you can do. You just sit on a boat as it travels across the famous Thames River. A historic steamboat is also an option. While on board, you can just relax and appreciate the beauty of the place. You may also take afternoon tea while you are there.

Ride in an elegant horse and carriage

This might seem like a thing of the past, but if you are really interested in giving it a try, it is possible. This will make you feel like royalty if you do it. This usually passes through Great Windsor Park.

Go to the Berkshire Golf Club

If you want a relaxing but physical activity during good weather, head to this exclusive golf club. The courses were designed by Herbert Fowler, so you can expect only the best.

These are just some of the most exciting activities to do while you are in Berkshire. You can also check out Muddy Stilettos Berkshire for more information regarding the place and how to travel there.

The UK, in general, has a lot to offer, but we usually have preconceived notions about the country. If you want to experience the UK at its most classic, you have to visit Berkshire. It is not too far from London, so you can easily get there. It is also accessible via boat. Once you see how stunning the place is, you might not even want to leave. There is no wonder a lot of people feel compelled to go to this part of England.
